[Elecraft] KX3 Computer Interface for digital modes

[Don Wilhelm]

With the "rush" by hams to using laptops for their ham station (lack of 
room is an often cited reason), they will find no Line-in - only mic-in, 
and that mic-in is not stereo either.

While I believe that a desktop computer sitting under the operating 
table  with real serial ports and real soundcards will serve the ham 
community much better than laptops, my words seem to fall on deaf ears.

With a desktop on the floor, you can choose the monitor size that fits 
your operating position and you can even use a wireless mouse and 
keyboard if cables are a problem.

So --- the move to "Microphone" rather than Line-In is being caused by 
the more frequent use of laptops in the ham station.
